And with this post I've just about made my midnight deadline GMT

55. G Gundam
Only Gundam could celebrate an anniversary year by ripping into it's founding robot forefathers. An insanely epic action show with some of the most off the wall mecha stuff you'll ever see.

54. Pumpkin Scissors
Definitely my favourite war anime, a compelling drama showcasing the damaging mental effects of being a specialist soldier and the often wide eyed idealist yet hypocritical aristocracy.

53. Super Sonico
This is how you do an idol anime, make her interesting, make her have relatable quirks and still make her appealing. It's also nice to see a plus size female lead for once.

52. Is This A Zombie
It's a harem yes, but it's quirks other than the fact that the lead is a walking corpse is the slient character Eu who speaks in notes, this backed up by silly fantasies makes it a joy to watch.

51. Digimon
While it makes for a better anime than it's rivals, it's real charm is it's ability to really tackle tough subjects, a rarity in a kids anime and certainly memorable.
